I’ve died a thousand times
But I’ve never found the right way
To leave this life behind
My inability to live
I’ve died a thousand times
But I’ve never found the right way
To leave this life behind
My inability to live
Heart wracking shrieks fill the once silent room;
How could you leave me alone?
Tears streak down my cheeks, dropping past my wobbling chin and to the carpet below;
How could you leave me alone?
So your letter showed up, without welcome,
Without a thought to the inconvenience,
Decisive, smirking, sending me adrift,
Now speechless with anger at tiny things,
Laboring at subtitles, squinting hard,
